So begins SIXJAK's sojourn into FI...

Random pic @Trader Joe's in KC. The SS has a KC Trends Logo on the C-pillar. Car club? Anybody familiar with it.

Will send a longer one....you got one of the prototypes.

Just got walked by a preppie in a CLS 550. Those things move along pretty well. SC can't come fast enough. Screw overpriced German crap. Would have been fun to be in the SC'd SS for that little game.

Edit: just looked up the specs. 382 HP doesn't stack up. His car would have walked an SS. He raped me pretty good.

Wish there was a cooler T-stat for the LLT/LFX. It is installed on the rear of the center of the engine block and only accesable from underneath toward the pass side....hours of work to remove and get back on properly....horrible design!

Thanks. Took one last pic of her as a fully operational NA car.
She's at the shop now cooling down getting ready for the RX kit.

Are we done yet? How about now? And now? Now?

[SIXJAK]

Installer's going full bore. Gonna be taking his plasma cutter to that crash bar to free up some airflow. Working on getting the fans all squared away right now.




Look at that poor nose clip sitting over in the corner with nothing to do.

I know right? A ported TB only takes like 20 mins to install....how hard can this be right? All mods should only take a half an hour or less.

Man, he is going to town!!! Any questions, have him call me.

Hopefully he'll call you today. I left him as he was running to ACE for a few bolts to mount IC. He's doing a few different things to mount it particularly at the top. As i mentioned, he's cutting a breathe-through slot in the crash bar to free up airflow. I'm curious to see how that fabrication turns out because his work is generally very clean and factory looking.
